'Tis  nothinsi.  a  private  or  two  now  antl  then, 

Will  not  count  in  tlie  news  of  tlie  battle;

"".Ml  (piiet  along  the  Potomac  tonight,"' 

Where  the  soldiers  lie  peacefully  dreaming. 
Their  tents  in  thi-  rays  of  the  clear  autumn  moon. 

.\nd  the  light  of  the  camp  tires  are  gleaming. 
.\  tremulous  sigh,  as  the  genth*  night  wind 

Thro'  the  forest  leaves  slowly  is  creeping. 
While  the  stars  up  ahove,  with  their  glittering  eye 

Ki'ep  guard  o'er  the  army  while  sleeping. 

'I'here's  only  the  sound  of  the  lone  sentry's  tread. 

,\s  he  tramjis  from  the  rock  to  the  fovnitain. 
.\nd  thinks'of  the  two  on  the  low  trundle  lied. 

^^ar  away  in  tlie  cot  an  the  mountain. 
His  musket  falls  slack — his  face,  dark  and  grim. 

(rrows  gentle  with  memories  tender, 
.\s  he  mutters  a  prayer  for  the  children  asleep. 

And  their  mother — •"may  Heaven  defend  her. 

T]ipn~  drawing  his  sleeves  roughly  over  his  c  yc^. 

Hc^   dasliesott'   tears    that    are  welling: 
.\n(l  gathers  his  gun  close  up  to  his  breast. 

.\s.  if  to  keep  down  the  heart's  swelling. 
He  passes  the  fountain,  the  l)laste(t  pine  trei'. 

.\nd  his  footste]>  is  lagging  and  weary; 
Yet  onward  he  goes  thro'  the  broad  belt  of  light. 

Towards  the  shades  of  the  forest  so  dreary. 

Hark  I  was  it  the  night  wihd  thnt  rustles  th.e  leave- 
Was   it  thd'  moonlight  so  wondrously  Hashing? 

It  look^■d  like  a  ritle!    ""Ha!  Mary,  good-bye  I" 
.Vnd  his  life-blood  is  ebbing  aiul  ])lashing. 

"".Vll  quiet  along  the  Potonuic  tonight."
